Temporal and spatial characteristics of heat waves in Central Europe in regional climate model simulations
Original language description
Heat waves (periods of extremely high air temperature in summer) have severe consequences on natural environment and society. According to model simulations of possible future climate, these events are expected to become more frequent and intense. Although summer temperatures in the tail of their distribution were evaluated by many authors, little attention has been given to evaluation of heat waves as spatial temperature patterns. The present study investigates temporal and spatial characteristics of heat waves in regional climate model (RCM) simulations from the ENSEMBLES project. The observed Central European heat waves (1950-2011) were derived from the high resolution E-OBS dataset in terms of criteria based on daily maximum temperature Tmax (exceedance of the 95% quantile of Tmax distribution in summer), spatial extent and duration. A similar definition was applied to the RCM simulations for the same period to acquire analogous heat wave patterns from the modelled data. Two refere
